Why Home Instead?

Personal care that supports independence at home

As personal care becomes more challenging, our support can help your loved one stay in their own home for longer. We match Care Professionals based on skills and personality, so help with things like bathing and dressing feels safe and comfortable.

20 years of trusted experience

We exceed UK regulatory standards, rank highly on Homecare.co.uk, and our qualified Care Professionals are trained to the highest standard so you can feel confident that they will provide respectful, professional and discreet personal care.

Help with complex personal care needs

No matter how clinical their personal care needs are, our Care Professionals provide support to make your loved one feel comfortable at home - from catheter care to stoma management, we can ensure excellent personal hygiene every day.

Sensitive, comfort-focused support

We understand it can be uncomfortable having a stranger manage your personal care, so we make visits feel warm and friendly, while remaining mindful of your loved one's emotions - everything we do focuses on protecting their dignity and wellbeing.

Trusted, Personalised Home Care in Ipswich

We understand that receiving personal care is a significant step, and a loved one may be apprehensive at first. Our approach focuses on dignity and independence, with Care Professionals who take time to understand individual preferences and routines. Unlike arrangements with self-employed carers, our service includes comprehensive support from our local office team, ensuring consistent care even if your regular Care Professional is away. We can provide personal care as part of regular visits or combine it with other services like companionship or home help.
